Opportunity Summary

The Tustin Public Art Commission invites artists to submit completed sculptures for the inaugural biennial Tustin Legacy Sculpture Walk exhibition to be installed in summer 2027. The goal of this national juried exhibit of original three-dimensional art is to present works from artists who wish to have their pieces displayed in an outdoor setting that draws art lovers into the recently re-conceptualized environment of Tustin Legacy Park.

Eligibility

Artists 18 years of age or older are invited to submit proposals individually or collaboratively. This is a national eligibility call.

Artwork Requirements

• Sculptural methods including stone, metal, wood, and mixed media are accepted.
• Sculpture pads measure approximately 7 feet by 7 feet, support artwork weighing up to 1,250 pounds, and are intended for artwork up to 12 feet in height.
• Electrical service and lighting are not provided at the sculpture sites.

Guidelines

Proposals are welcome from both individual artists and collaborative teams. Eligible artwork includes, but is not limited to, freestanding sculptures and site-specific installations. Preference will be given to works that complement the character and setting of Tustin Legacy Park. Proposals should demonstrate long-term durability. The City may request additional information during the review process. Artworks may be available for purchase, with all proceeds going to the artist. If sold, artwork must remain on display for the contract duration.

Artist Compensation

• Three-year installations: $2,500 upon installation, $2,500 at the beginning of the second year, and $2,500 upon deinstallation, for a total of $7,500.
